SB325, children of illegals on Medicaid — no

I oppose SB325 which allows children of illegal aliens access to Medicaid. Nevada’s Medicaid program is underfunded. Further burdening Nevada taxpayers by adding illegal aliens to Medicaid is wrong. Illegal aliens come to the United States for free stuff, taking away benefits that should go to American citizens in need. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, of illegal aliens household with children, 87% access one or more welfare programs compared to 52% of American households. This is wrong. Illegal aliens add burdens to our schools, medical system and legal system. Americans should come first. Please vote “no” on SB325.
